The UN is hosting an International Ebola Recovery Conference in New York on Thursday and Friday which aims to help Ebola-affected countries with the support and resources they need to "get to zero, stay at zero and recover". However, this follows a damning independent review of the World Health Organization's response to Ebola, describing the UN body as "not a fit for purpose health emergency agency".
The report criticised the WHO's bureaucratic culture and the delay in declaring a public health emergency. So how can the organisation improve its response to emergencies like Ebola? RFI spoke to researchers at this week's European Conference on African Studies in Paris, which is hosting a round table entitled, "Ebola: African Studies in Times of Emergency"
